Backed by Hundreds of Five-Star Reviews
Elmm Law Group represents injury victims throughout Tucson, Arizona, handling your case from evidence to settlement, including all insurance communication.
Elmm Law Group handles the full range of serious personal injury matters for Tucson clients. Whether your injury happened on a busy arterial, at a commercial property, or because of someone else’s animal, the firm has the experience to pursue every dollar you are owed.
Insurance companies operating in the Tucson market, like everywhere else in Arizona, are businesses whose goal is to pay as little as possible on every claim. Adjusters are trained to contact injured people quickly, often before those people have spoken with an attorney, and to obtain recorded statements that can be used to minimize or deny coverage. They may offer a fast settlement that sounds reasonable but is far below what your injuries actually justify.
Arizona’s pure comparative fault rule under A.R.S. 12-2505 means that an insurer can reduce your recovery by whatever percentage of fault it can assign to you. If an adjuster can argue you were speeding, distracted, or jaywalking, your compensation drops accordingly. Having an attorney who can challenge those fault allocations with evidence is essential.
Evidence also disappears fast. Surveillance footage from businesses along corridors like Broadway Boulevard or Oracle Road is often overwritten within days. Skid marks fade. Witnesses move on. The sooner you have an attorney working to preserve and document evidence, the stronger your case becomes. Elmm Law Group begins that process immediately after intake, even from 110 miles away in Phoenix.
Arizona law allows injured victims to pursue a broad range of economic and non-economic damages. The specific types available in your case depend on the facts, but commonly include:
Tucson’s street grid and rapid growth have created a number of genuinely dangerous corridors and intersections. Understanding where injuries cluster helps explain why Tucson generates so many serious personal injury claims.
Speedway Boulevard runs east-west across the entire city and has a long, well-documented history as a high-conflict arterial. The combination of fast-moving traffic, frequent driveway cuts, aging signals, and heavy pedestrian activity near the University of Arizona campus district makes the Speedway corridor a consistent source of serious crashes. Student foot traffic and cyclists crossing between campus and surrounding neighborhoods face particular risk along this stretch.
The intersection of Golf Links Road and Swan Road has been specifically identified by Tucson police as the city’s highest-crash intersection. The volume and speed of traffic at that crossing, combined with left-turn conflicts, creates conditions that produce collisions with troubling regularity.
Grant Road is another long east-west corridor with a mix of commercial driveways, older signal timing, and heavy daily traffic that produces frequent rear-end and angle crashes. Broadway Boulevard and 22nd Street carry similar risk profiles through the central and south-central parts of the city.
Interstate 10 through the Marana corridor north of Tucson is a high-speed freeway environment where truck traffic is heavy and lane-change and merge crashes can be catastrophic. The Barraza-Aviation Parkway (SR-210) links the east side of Tucson to the I-10 system and sees significant commercial and commuter volume. Interstate 19 heading south toward Nogales carries both local and border-related commercial traffic.
Oracle Road (SR-77) through the northwest part of the city, and outer arterials like Kolb Road, Craycroft Road, Houghton Road, Ina Road, and Valencia Road, all present risks associated with high-speed suburban arterial design, where pedestrians and cyclists are particularly vulnerable because infrastructure often lags behind development.
The University of Arizona campus district deserves separate mention. The concentration of student pedestrians and cyclists, combined with drivers unfamiliar with the area, creates a collision environment that produces injuries ranging from minor to fatal. Campbell Avenue and University Boulevard near campus are particularly active.
From the moment you retain the firm, Elmm Law Group begins gathering and preserving the evidence that supports your claim. This includes requesting police and incident reports, sending spoliation letters to preserve surveillance footage before it is overwritten, identifying and interviewing witnesses, and working with accident reconstruction experts when the facts of a collision are disputed. For crashes on corridors like Speedway or at intersections like Golf Links and Swan, traffic camera data and signal timing records can be critical and must be requested quickly.
Building a complete picture of your damages requires more than a stack of medical bills. The firm works to ensure that your treating providers document the full scope of your injuries, that future care needs are properly evaluated, and that economic losses like reduced earning capacity are supported by appropriate expert analysis. Insurers routinely undervalue claims that are not properly documented; Elmm Law Group makes sure yours is.
Most personal injury cases resolve through negotiated settlement, but insurers settle fairly only when they believe the opposing attorney is prepared to go to trial. Gordi Mikalacki’s background as a former Arizona Assistant Attorney General means she has actual courtroom and litigation experience, not just settlement experience. If your case needs to be filed in Pima County Superior Court, the firm is prepared to take it there.
Gordana “Gordi” Mikalacki, Esq. founded Elmm Law Group to give seriously injured Arizonans access to the kind of legal firepower that is usually reserved for large corporate clients. Her credentials are the real thing. She earned her J.D. from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, clerked for the Arizona Court of Appeals, and then served as an Arizona Assistant Attorney General, where she litigated complex matters on behalf of the state. That background means she understands how government agencies, large institutions, and insurance companies think and how to counter them effectively.
Gordi handles Tucson cases personally. You will not be handed off to a paralegal or a junior associate. She is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and she consults and communicates in English, Spanish, and Serbo-Croatian, which matters in a bilingual community like Tucson where language barriers should never stand between an injured person and justice.
Because the firm operates statewide from its Phoenix office at 3401 N. 32nd St., Tucson clients receive the same direct-attorney attention as local clients without needing to travel. Intake, consultations, case updates, and document review all happen remotely, on your schedule.
If you or someone you love was injured in Tucson, the time to act is now. Evidence fades, witnesses become harder to locate, and Arizona’s two-year statute of limitations under A.R.S. 12-542 moves faster than most people expect. Elmm Law Group offers a completely free, no-obligation consultation, available around the clock, with no requirement that you travel to Phoenix. Gordi Mikalacki will review your situation personally, explain your options honestly, and tell you exactly what the firm can do for you.
Get Your Free Consultation - Available 24/7In most personal injury cases, Arizona law gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit, under A.R.S. 12-542. If you miss that deadline, Pima County Superior Court will almost certainly dismiss your case regardless of how strong it is on the merits. There are limited exceptions, such as cases involving minors or claims against a government entity, which have their own shorter notice requirements. Do not assume you have more time than you do; contact an attorney as soon as possible after your injury.
No. The firm is located at 3401 N. 32nd St. in Phoenix, approximately 110 miles northwest of Tucson via Interstate 10, but Tucson clients never need to make that drive. All consultations, intake, document review, and case communication are handled remotely. If your case proceeds to litigation in Pima County Superior Court, the firm handles all court appearances and filings on your behalf.
Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system under A.R.S. 12-2505. That means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Your total damages are simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20 percent at fault, you recover 80 percent of your total damages. Insurance companies will often try to inflate your share of fault to reduce what they owe; having an attorney who can push back on that allocation with evidence is critically important.
Personal injury lawsuits arising from incidents in Tucson and the surrounding area are filed in Pima County Superior Court. Elmm Law Group is prepared to file and litigate there if a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation. The firm handles all aspects of the court process, so you do not need to navigate the Pima County court system on your own.
Nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket unless the firm wins. Elmm Law Group works on a contingency fee basis, meaning the firm’s fee is a percentage of the recovery obtained for you. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. Your initial consultation is also completely free. This structure ensures that cost is never a barrier to getting experienced legal representation after a serious injury.
Be polite but do not provide a recorded statement and do not accept any settlement offer before speaking with an attorney. Insurance adjusters, including those working for your own insurance company, are trained to gather information and make early offers that protect the insurer’s bottom line, not yours. Once you retain Elmm Law Group, all insurer communication goes through the firm, taking that pressure off you entirely and ensuring nothing you say is used to undermine your claim.
